Many Christians think Jesus’ death only brought about the forgiveness of human sins. But Scripture tells us that there’s more to the story. Christ’s death was also the instrument by which the dark, spiritual powers were defeated. And according to the writings of Peter and Paul, our baptism allows us to participate in the victory of Christ’s death and resurrection. In particular, Peter sees a connection between Noah’s flood and baptism, drawing upon the worldview as found in the Jewish text of 1 Enoch. In this episode, Matt demonstrates how knowing that worldview helps readers understand the otherwise difficult passage in 1 Peter 3:18-22.
